From Nature, an art and tech exhibition is the Fall 2025 exhibition programmed for the Harvestworks Art and Technology Program Building on Governors Island. The title of the exhibition – From Nature – is a poetic postcard reminding us of where we have been and where we may be going. Selected by the Harvestworks arts committee and the Executive Director Carol Parkinson, the works explore the human social fabric, ecological interdependence, avian, flora and fauna through multiple channel sound and video, artificial intelligence and no-input 3D gaming..
All events are free.
Location: Harvestworks Art and Technology Program Building 10a, Nolan Park, Governors Island
Open to the public: 11 am to 5 pm on Sat and Sun.
Ongoing Performances September 6, 14, 27 and October 11, 18, 25

(Opening September 20, 2025) Particle Matter is a multi-channel video and sound installation by Itziar Barrio in collaboration with sound artist Seth Cluett. A materialist investigation into matter and multitudinous manifestations of the micro, Particle Matter approaches its subject in a rhizomatic fashion, utilizing the language of the montage–the dialectical technique of producing a new composite whole from fragments of moving images and sounds–to explore the forces catalyzing and created by the movements of the fragmented and microscopic; the pieces left over. Performance October 25, 2025
Itziar Barrio is an interdisciplinary artist producing long-term research-based projects that involve different agents and collaborators. By rewriting the dominant narratives through which our societies, identities, and realities are constructed, her work opens up new futures. Her survey exhibition was curated by Johanna Burton in 2018, and her monograph was published by SKIRA in 2023. Barrio has recently been awarded a 2024 Guggenheim Fellowship and 2024 NYFA/NYSCA Artist Fellow. She is currently an artist in residence at Harvestworks.
Seth Cluett is an internationally recognized composer and artist whose quiet, patient practice explores the territory between the senses, with a compelling attention to perception. His work is driven by themes of ecological collapse and resilience, often expressed through materials found in nature. Cluett is on the composition faculty at Columbia University, where he is Director of the Computer Music Center and Assistant Director of the Sound Art MFA Program. Since 2017 he has served as Artist-in-Residence at Nokia Bell Labs.
